Scarce has the fever so chilly of Gallomania departed,
When a more burning attack in Grecomania breaks out.
Greekism,—what did it mean?—’Twas harmony, reason, and clearness!
Patience,—good gentlemen, pray, ere ye of Greekism speak!
‘Tis for an excellent cause ye are fighting, and all that I ask for
Is that with reason it ne’er may be a laughing-stock made.
(Friedrich von Schiller)
